英国女王最近发布一则广告为王室招聘洗碗工。据悉，该职位年薪14200英镑（约合15万人民币），工作地点在白金汉宫，不过每年会有两个月需要跟随女王去其他王室驻地，比如巴尔莫勒尔堡、温莎堡或者桑德林汉姆宫等。招聘广告中要求应征者必须守时，诚实守信，有团队合作精神，处事灵活，态度随和。白金汉宫发言人表示，这个职位是针对王室服务的公职，薪水由王室专款支付。

The £14,200-a-year post is based at Buckingham Palace but requires travel to other Royal residences such as Balmoral, Windsor and Sandringham.

The grandly titled General Assistant (Wash Up) will spend up to two months of the year working away from London.

Candidates must be punctual, reliable, able to work well in a team and have a flexible and willing attitude.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “It is a very small, tight team and they retain that small team atmosphere when they move around. When the court moves to Balmoral or elsewhere, so does the team. The job is an official position paid from the Civil List.”

Maureen Watt, MSP for the North East Scotland constituency that includes Balmoral, said: “Haven’t they heard of dishwashing machines?”
